Wonderful Savannah!

Champ was a terrific guide and was very knowledgeable! He also provided water at the beginning of our tour for all those who would enjoy a beverage as a much appreciated extra! Thank you for a wonderful experience !

Very Informative & Fun

As a history buff myself, I greatly appreciated Champ’s knowledge and insights regarding the history of Savannah! He walked us from the settling of the city up to the urban renewal of the 60’s and 70’s. As a gardener, I loved his pointing out the local flora and fauna of the area and why it was planted. You will not be disappointed with this Navy vet who loves this city! He drew us in and my wife and I are grateful for him sharing what he has spent years researching! Thank you Champ!

Historic tour

Nice experience- please tell tour guide Champ to speak more clearly and slowly- we couldn't understand half of what he said.

History doesn't have to awkward

Good tour! It was funny, informative, and engaging overall. One suggestion: when discussing slavery or civil rights, try to avoid repeatedly looking at the only African American person(s) on the tour. It created an awkward moment and felt like an assumption. Not every Black person is a descendant of enslaved people, and it's best not to single anyone out during those parts of the tour.
